tieation, and to the reference-numerals marked thereon.

The present invention relates to nose` guards for eye-glasses and`spectacles and more particularly to the means for securing the pads tothe guards, and is a division of my prior application., Serial No.464,663, filed November 27. 1908.

lt. has for an olijeet to provide a simple and inexpensive constructionin which the padhas a. universal movement. and is not liable to becomedetached.

To these and other ends the invention consists in. certain improvementsand combina.- tions of parts all as will be hereinafter more fullydescribed, the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the endof the specification.

In the drawings: Figure l is an. enlarged perspective view ot a fingerpiece nose `guard for eyeglasses embodriug this invention; Fig. 2 is anenlarged transverse section of the pad and its supporting arm. and Fie".3 is a plan view ofthe pad.

The invention in the present instance is embodied in what is termed afinger piece guard for eyeglasses in which the lever l is pivotallymounted'oii the .support for the lenses (not shown and carries the noseen gading portion at its rear end. v

rllhe nose engaging' portions comprise in this instance au upper and alower pad, the latter preferably beinein the form of a downwardlyextending loop einbodving an arm secured at il at its upper end to thelever l. and having a forward bend :l at its lower end connecting it. toan upwardly extending arm 5 that is'passed over the inner tace oi armi). and has an extension or continuation forming a` supporting arm for'the upper pad. '.lo secure the upper pad to this supportingr portion orarm, one of said parts, preferably the supporting portion or arm G. isformed with an eye or opening 7 while the pad carries two or more armspassed through the eye at 8 and turned outwardly at 9 to retain the padto the supporting arm. lt is preferred to make the pad of sheet materialand .in order to secure an effective gripping surface, it is made in the:form of a substantially concavo-'convex disk 10 radially corrugated at1l, if desired, and having its-convex face userving as the nose engagingsurface. The securing arms may also be made of sheet material and in onepiece with the disk and to this end they are bent at l2 from oppositeedges of the disk toward each other across the concave tace to connect.with the portions' 8 that eX- tend through the eye or perforation. Theeye is preferably circular so that the arms may turn therein and it issufliciently large of the nose; and further its shape is such that itdoes not injure the nose. The arms being formed in the manner describedare not liable to work loose and accidentally: release the pad and yetlthey permit the' rea-dy removal of the pad tor the purpose 'of repair.

I claim as my invention: l

l. A nose guard for eyeglasses comprising a supporting portion and airelatively movable pad, one. ot' which is provided with an eye and theother of which has arms passed through and rotatable freely in the eye7with their ends deticcted outwardly and spaced from the latter toloosely retain the pad on the support.

Q. A nose' guard for eyeglasses comprising a supporting; portion and apad, one of which is provided with an eye and the other of which hasarms extending` toward each other from its opposite edges, passedloosely through the eye and thence turned outwardly in spaced relationto the farther side of the latter to retain the pad to the support. andpermit a rota-ry and rocking movement relatively thereto. v

3. A nose guard `for eyeglasses comprising a supporting` portion and apad, one of which has an eye-and the other of which has arms extendingacross its adjacent face inwardly from opposite edges, passed looselythrough the eye and thence turned outwardly in spaced relation to thefarther side loosely through the eye, and turned out- Wardly @in spaedrelation to the oppsit 10 side of the supperting portionto retain thedisk onv the supporting portion. y Q
